Order Only: Private message to Dora and Sirius

[alt_lupin]

I'm thinking that for the Full Moon it'll be easiest to tell Ellie I'm going off on some sort of stock-buying trip and will be back in a day or two. And then go to 12GP for the duration.

I've grown rather accustomed to having Sirius around when I transform. Ellie, however, has grown rather accustomed to having the dog around pretty much all the time. I'm a bit worried that taking him away from her will go over about as well as taking that singing rabbit toy away from Bea would. Dora, will managing Ellie and the beer garden and all the rest without Sirius be too much? Sirius, just how dependent on you is she?

She'll have to manage. I'm not leaving you alone on the full moon.

Besides, Ellie's not Bea's age; she'll have to get over a security blanket sooner or later.

I think it'd be good for her and Dora to spend time without us, anyway.

The only problem with that plan is my going off to the Ministry in the middle of the night.

I know we want Ellie to take care of her eventually, but I don't know that it's a brilliant idea, leaving her in the night while she still seems to feel so unsafe and skittish.

Are you sure you couldn't just say you're coming down with one of your sick headaches, and then go off to bed for the duration? You could lock the door. It's not as if she's going to want to barge in on you if you're ill.
